The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Cold painted bronzes refer to cast bronze sculptures decorated with unfired oil paint or enamel after casting. Popularised in Vienna during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this technique allowed artists to create polychrome details on small animal figurines and decorative statues.

These figures were cast in solid bronze using lost-wax or sand casting methods. Once cooled and chased, layers of oil-based paints or enamels were applied directly to the raw metal without heat firing, resulting in vibrant surface colours that naturally age over time.

Authentic pieces display realistic casting details, natural wear to the painted surface, and a noticeable physical weight characteristic of solid bronze. Original paint typically exhibits natural flaking or mellowing rather than uniform modern acrylic finishes.

Small bronze sculptures function well as decorative paperweights, accent pieces on bookshelves, or curated items within a tray display. Placing them atop stacked art books or alongside houseplants adds tactile interest and historical depth.

Avoid chemical cleaners, polishes, or water, as these can strip remaining unfired paint. Gently dust the surface with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, and store the item away from high humidity to protect the underlying metal.
